If you’re going to chair a conference, according to DVCon 2017 General Chair Dennis Brophy, don’t do any work. Instead just delegate, because if you’ve done that properly, the committees will craft a great program and a great gathering.
Hence, per Brophy, this year’s DVCon is going to be great. He’s done nothing, the committees have done everything, and their work has been inspired.
You must bring something to the effort, I insisted.
Brophy chuckled and deflected my question: “I’ll defer to Wally Rhines’ thesis: The learning curve definitely doesn’t stop, even though Moore’s Law is slowing. And there will be a lot of opportunity to learn this year at DVCon.
